Jeff,

Do you have a spine tester? I'd like to know how they check for consistency around the shaft and from shaft to shaft. I'm not real anal about weight tolerance, but what about it? Afterall, you paid for quality.
I do not, but have access to one. However, I cannot check these now as they are too short for the RAM spine tester.

Frankly, I've checked enough ICSH before that I'm confident these would spine well and didn;t feel the need to bother- ICSH are not the best I've ever seen but in general they spine "good enough" for my picky nature- both around the shaft and within the dozen. One of the good things about C2 construction. The real issue for me has always been straightness with ICSH.

I've had one very knowledgable tech person tell me that ICSH are not terribly great these days, however my shop routinely checks arrows and feel that the ICSH are still the best value for the $ :shrug:

EDIT- that said, I'll try to remember to spine the other Elites they got in when I'm at the shop tomorrow evening.
